Researchers had men and women rate the strength of underarm sweat samples. In samples where BO was masked with other fragrances, women pinned down the stink much easier than men, scientists said.

They used 32 fragrances in an attempt to mask the BO smell in the samples. Nineteen of those covered up the aroma from men. Only two hid the smell from women, according to the study.

But ladies, don’t think you’re immune to BO. And you don’t want to be if you’re lookin’ for some lovin’! When it comes to body odor, a January 2006 study showed men rate a woman’s attractiveness at different times of the month based on her body odor. Underarm sweat apparently tells a man when a woman is fertile, which makes her more desireable, the study said.
